Steps
12 steps
1
Preheat the oven to 180C
2
Mix flax seeds and water and let it sit for several minutes.
3
Mix all dry ingredients.
4
Blend dates with water (or sweetener) and apple sauce. In another bowl, mix it with flax egg and vanilla.
5
Add wet to dry ingredients and mix well.
6
Shape the cookies
Put some baking paper on a baking pan. Make around round 10 cookies and place them on the baking sheet.
7
Using your fingers or a spoon, make a hole in every cookie. They will pretty much keep their form while baking. This will be a placeholder for chocolate and strawberries.
8
Bake
Bake for around 20 minutes.
9
Prepare strawberries
Wash and slice the strawberries in half.
10
Melt chocolate
Mix chocolate and plant milk, and melt it (e.g. in a dish over simmering water, or in a microwave).
11
When the cookies are done, pour the melted chocolate into the holes and while the chocolate is still warm, put some strawberries on top and press them into the chocolate.
12
Let them cool
Wait until the chocolate firms up and serve. They are best stored in the fridge.
